That was helpful, thanks!
Looked through it and tried it out:

wins support = yes
domain master browser = true
local master browser = true
preferred master browser = yes
remote announce = 192.168.0.255

How do I define the two subnets, is this a samba or a linux networking 
issue? Are there IP numbering problems to expect?
It still does not work, the XP stations don't see anything (net view, or 
in Network Neighbourhood). NMBD on 'server' calls for election of local 
master browser, triggered by call from 'st06', the one station connected 
through the eth1 (a 10B100 onboard ethernet, with IP 192.168.0.10). The 
other stations, connected through eth0 (a BNC ethernet PCI card, with IP 
192.168.0.1) are well.

The server works only as file server, the stations need to read and 
write shared files on it, not recognise each other - in fact, they 
should not.

I should read through the doccumentation again!
